He could not shut the timer off, or return to the main menu, or use his phone for anything.
Christopher was stunned.
"Is my phone infected by a virus? Is the timer a prank from some unknown hackers, or did I accidentally click onto a malicious website, causing a virus to enter my phone?" he thought, puzzled.

He took out his phone to call Avery, but she did not pick up.
